Rating: - One to Watch
"Imaginary Heroes" is an unusual domestic drama that hangs together most of the time. Jeff Daniels plays Ben Travis, a father whose son embodies his dreams for athletic awards in swimming. When son Matt decides to shoot himself, it ruins his father's dreams. Jeff Daniels becomes so depressed that he is almost immobilized. Sigourney Weaver plays his mischievious wife who tries to bury the blues by smoking illegal substances. I recently watched Kip Pardue in Loggerheads. His brief appearance ... Read More
Rating:  - Really very good.
I expected this movie to be good but I didn't expect it to be a five star movie. Well, it is. The acting is superb. Sigourney Weaver and Emile Hirsch have the most screen time but the supporting cast is also excellent, with Jeff Daniels, Michelle Williams and Ryan Donowho, whom I haven't heard about before. The performances, together with a good story, made for a movie that was really touching and engaging in a way that, for example, The Squid and the Whale, didn't. Highly recommended.
Rating: - Imaginary Heroes movie
Sigourney Weaver is always worth it, even in a strange film. The plot's a bit odd, but I like it. Four-star rating!!!

All of those points are valid to a degree, but they do not take into account the main audience for this movie: actors or lovers of acting.
Yes, the pacing is rather slow, yet there are movies ... Read More

Dan Harris is mostly well known for his writing efforts with Bryan Singer (for whom he wrote X2-United and Superman Returns)."Imaginary Heroes" opened in 2004 to mostly lukewarm reviews, most of them comparing the film to Robert Redford's "Ordinary People". Dan Harris actually managed to create a film that is captivating, dynamic and filled with well developed characters, that are really well flushed out by his wonderful cast. The film could've easily fallen into "film of the week" material, but it ... Read More
